Simple Sorbet

I wish I could take credit for this, but I can't. The amazing and wonderful Katy Weaver came up with the recipe and she also took the pictures.

To make this simple fruity desert get out your blender or go out and rent one (I don't know what your blender situation is so I can only guess). Throw the following into the blender:

• 1 part plain yogurt or your favorite yogurt
• 2 parts mixed frozen fruit of your choosing
• 0.5 parts frozen orange juice concentrate

Flip on the blender and prepare for some scary noises as it blends. You might need to stir it around a couple times and flip it on and off before it becomes fully blended. Then scoop into serving bowls and stick in the freezer until it becomes frozen.

After it's frozen top with some honey or your favorited whipped cream topping. The finished sorbet is a bit tart, so if you like tart deserts you could just leave off the honey. Enjoy!

Port and Fig Chicken Salad Sandwich

This delicious leftover sandwich was made from last night's chicken from this recipe. The chicken in this salad was extra flavorful, because it was soaked overnight in the fig sauce. I pulled appart the chicken and added:

• 2 tablespoons of finely chopped red onion
• 1 carrot peeled
• 1/4 toasted walnuts (finely chopped)
• the leftover figs from the port and fig chicken recipe (about 6 figs cut into 4ths)
• the leftover sauce from last night's chicken
• 2 heaping table spoons of light mayo

Then just mix until everything is covered in the mayo and scoop onto some toast, bread or a plate.

Then toasted some sourdough bread and topped one slice with some medium sharp Tillamook cheddar cheese and some arugula. The end result is a high class sandwich made from leftovers. 

Welcome!

I figured since I'm always cooking up delicious things in the kitchen I might as well start a cooking blog showing off my favorite dishes.
